Server 2019 freezing

$

0

Hello

I´ve installed Windows 2019 Server to our RDS environment, and for some time it worked well. We´re using 6 RDS servers and every day one of that freeze and needs to be restarted. Users who is logged to server works normally, but user who need to login just got black screen and freeze on that. In event viewer i found error 4005 The Windows logon process has unexpectedly terminated.

If im trying to connect to server via console (on dell servers) as server admin i cant do anything because login screen is freezed too. Only way is to restart server. Remote powershell looks like working, but cant log off user. There wasnt installed any updates when it start freezing :(

Any idea how to fix it ?


Load Balance 3391/UDP and 443 for Gateways

$

0

Looking for some help concerning the RDS Gateway Role and load balancing.

I have an pre-production RDS environment that contains 3x Gateway Servers. I have tested the environment by connecting through each one of the individual Gateways and everything works just fine.

I'm now at the point where I want to use my hardware load balancer (F5) to receive the connections and distribute them between the 3 Gateways. I would also like to use the UDP Transport on 3391 as well.

The part that I don't completely understand is that I'm assuming that each individual connection, which will be coming in on both TCP 443 and UDP 3391 would need to be routed to the same gateway?

It would make sense and be easy to set the LB up to balance both ports to the 3 Gateways, but without any specific load balancer magic, connection "A" might go to one gateway for 443 and a different gateway for 3391.

Can A Windows 7 Virtual Machine Be Used As An RD Session Host?

$
0
0

Hi all, our Windows 2012R2 RDS system was just handed over to me to support. With little knowledge I was tasked with setting up the following and am wondering if this even possible.

Task: Set up a Windows7 32bit session host so that some very old software can be loaded on it and it would be accessed by only one person. The user is working remotely and can only get to an internet accessible RDS gateway that would provide access to the Windows 7 Session Host inside our network.

The windows7 Hyper-V virtual machine was created and then I get on our Windows 2012R2 server where RDS is managed and I open up Server Manager and add the new Windows7 PC. The Server Manager shows a Manageability status of "Online - Cannot manage a client-based operating system'.

Can I still add this Windows 7 vm as a Session Host in RDS? Is Windows 7 even a supported operating system to function as an RDS Session Host? Can I create a session collection such that the win7 session host will be used for Remote Desktop sessions?

Any feedback will help me understand RDS better and would be much appreciated.

 

RDS dedicated to shared environment migration pearls of wisdom request

$
0
0

Hi All

This is a request for pearls of wisdom from anyone who has migrated a Windows 2012 TS RDS environment from internally hosted, dedicated infrastructure to a shared cloud in a datacentre.

We have bravely made the leap but are now experiencing VHD disconnect/unavailable issues as well as severe lag for all users. These issues happen regularly during the least active hours so we suspect it is to do with jobs running in the background. Since everything was working fine before the migration it seems likely these issues are occurring at layer 4 or below.

Without going into too much detail, has anybody experienced this type of behaviour from an RDS migration before?

Thanks

Load Balance 3391/UDP and 443/TCP for RDS Gateways

It's possible that I could be overthinking this and I'm not sure if this is a flat out requirement. In the case where the user initially connects on Port 443 to Gateway A, then the UDP traffic comes in and the LB forwards that to Gateway B. Does Gateway B know to forward that UDP traffic to Gateway A if all the gateways have the farm properties configured?

Help with migrating RDS servers to new domain

$

Hi,

 

We have two AD forests and I'm moving users from one domain to another. Domain A have 100 users and two terminal servers 2012 r2 (TSSRVR1 is session host, connection broker, RD web, license server and TSSRVR2 is session host only). I have migrated all users to new Domain B using ADMT, so they keep the same passwords. Now I am really confused what is the best way to move terminal servers to new domain, should I just disjoin and join to new domain or should I use ADMT to migrate them? what is the good working approach?

 

I did try to test migrating them in my lab using ADMT and when I open TSSRVR1 I get error following servers (TSSRVR1.DomainA, TSSRVR2.DomainA) are not part of deployment and add them into server pool. Which means rds deployment still searching for servers on old domain, I added TS servers from new domain using Add Servers but no luck.

 

Before I do migration in production, I really need to know if disjoin and re-join is better than ADMT? If I go with this approach what are steps involved to make TS servers functional again?

 

There are no profiles to migrate or to worry about, they will have new profiles from Domain B because they only use one published app on terminal servers.

 

Thank you and your expert help will be highly appreciated.


Remote Desktop Session Host Servers use lot of RAM without any connection after days without Restart.

Hi,

I have 5 Remote Desktop Session Hosts with 14 GB RAM each.

Every day in every RDSH connected 10-12 users 

I have configure a policy to sign out all the users after 4 hours idle to keep it clean after working hours.

My problem is that after 15 days all Remote Desktop Session Host Servers use 6-7 GB RAM without any connection.

For example i can see that keeps 7 GB RAM when connect at night which i am the only in Remote Desktop Session Host Server.

I can't figure out which programm or service use so much RAM.

Can someone help me ?

Error setting up User Profile Disks for Server 2019 RDS Farm

$

Hello,

I have been trying to configure the "User Profile Disks" option for an RDS Farm with no luck.

I have one Server 2019 RDS Broker server and four Server 2019 RDS Session Host servers. I have successfully created the collection and added the SH servers to the farm. However, when I try to configure the UPD option, I get the following error:

"Could not create the template VHD. Error Message: -2147023174"

I have been trying to create the share on the broker server and have verified the share for the UPD is created and permissions are correct. When I try to configure the UPD, the process does add the SH server accounts to the list of permissions, but does not seem to actually create the VHD.

Automount is enabled on all servers in the farm, all servers have the latest updates.

I have tried creating a new share on a different server (Server 2016 STD) and get the same error message. The name of the share doesn't have any spaces or special characters: UserProfileDisks


Server 2016 webclient MFA solution

$

Hello,

I was curious if anyone has found a MFA solution for RDS 2016 HTML5 webclient?  The end goal is to publish the app externally through a RD Gateway.  It's currently working, however we'd really feel better about it with MFA.  We played around with a DUO demo, however they don't support the webclient, and if you apply it to the gateway it strips the RAP/CAP.  we need to use those policies, so the gateway is a no go for us.  The RDWeb piece works fine, but then breaks the webclient.

Any thoughts?

Publish legacy RemoteApp installed in custom directory with user data in installation directory

$

Hello, I have a legacy in-house developed application I am trying to deploy as RemoteApp. The application is installed in C:\T&N directory and some user specific configuration data is located in a couple of files inside that directory.

I deployed the application installing and it is shown in the Web gateway. I can run it remotely with no issues but the problem is that the user data is not saved on a per user basis, but the last user that runs the app have his config data saved for the next time the app run.

It is like this. The app.exe is installed in C:\T&N and there is a config file C:\T&N\user.config. This user.config have personalization settings and the location of some databases specific to the user running the app. 

Is there a way I can include some files in C:\T&N directory into the user profile disk so each user will have his own copy of the config file? Everything else runs fine except this critical little thing.

RDS connection broker HA 2016 failover problem

$

Hi!
I apologize for my English. 
Question about RDS connection broker HA 2016 failover. 

I set up an RDP farm. 
Two connection broker servers (CB1 and CB2) HA and 2 rd session host servers (T1 and T2).
As long as both CB servers are online, everything works fine. CB1 is an active management server.

I connect to T1 and then perform a disconnect. In server manager and SQL DB, I see the session in the disconnect state. After that, I suddenly turn off CB1.

1. If wait for about 5 minutes until the system itself makes management server CB2 active and then connect to T2, the RDP session will be redirected to T1. This is the expected behavior.

However

2. If immediately after suddenly turn off CB1 to attempt to connect to T2, then the session will be connected to it. Two sessions will appear in server manager and SQL DB. One is in the disconnected (T1) state, the other is in the active (T2) state.

Is this the correct behavior of the system, or have I configured something wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Windows Server 2016 MSI Installer appears and application freezes

$

Hello,

I'm banging my head against the wall and can't figure out my problem on my own. So I would be very happy about some feedback.

Following situation:
I have a Windows 2016 server running as a terminalserver. I have 5 clients connected to my server. I mainly use 2 applications on my server which communicate with eachother (medical programs, one for managing patient data and the other one to show imported images). 

Whenever I start my program A and navigate to options a MSI installer appears which wants to install application B (even tho it is already installed). The MSI installer stops during "Preparing to install..." and program A freezes. 
I took a look at my logs and it gives me the following warning: "Detection of product 'xxx', feature 'OleInterface' failed during request for component 'xxx'. It then tries to open the MSI installer and stops. 
When I deinstall application B the MSI installer doesn't appear.

My Application A does not need the OLE interface but I tried both installing application B with  and without OLE interface with the same result.

Here is what confuses me the most: with the administrator account aswell as with 4 other user accounts I run in the problem mentioned above. But with 2 other user accounts I do not have any problem at all. There is no MSI installer appearing and my program does not freeze.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks






2012 R2 RDS Temporary Profile issue

$

I have set up a standard 3 node 2012 R2 RDS for testing. All virtualized on VMware ESXi 5.0. I have a connection Broker, session host, and web access server. I have published several applications and I can access them without a problem. Here is my issue:

When I try to log on to my session host server either locally or thru RDP, I am always logged in with a Temporary profile. It does not mater what user account I use. Even logging on locally as the administrator I get a temporary profile.

All windows updates are installed and current.

I have removed the server from the domain, deleted the account, and rejoined it to the domain.

I have deleted all .bak registry entries from here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

There is a hotfix here for a similar issue on 2012 but it does not apply to 2012 R2

The only event viewer errors are:

1515 (Windows has backed up this user profile. Windows will automatically try to use the backup profile the next time this user logs on.)

1511 (Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.)

Any suggestions to resolve would be greatly appreciated.

VDI Shutdown inactive machines

Hello,

Is there any documented approach to minimize the number of running VDIs?

I'd like to :

  1. Schedule starting the machines early in the morning.
  2. Schedule shutting down the machine after working hours.
  3. Allow the users to start their machine without admin support.

1 and 2 are easy, my concern is with 3. or any other recommended approach.

Thanks

Guide to setting up 5 concurrent Remote Desktop Sessions Windows Server 2019 Standard

$

I have a friend who needs to run 5 concurrent RD Sessions. He purchased Windows Server 2019 Standard with 5 RDS CALs and a computer to install it on. He has asked me to set it for him.

This is the situation. We have a single program that needs to run on the server. Each person needs to be able to log in and run that software on their own RDS login. Seems like a very simple setup.

My questions are:

1. Can I do this with one machine?

2. Can I do this with the Windows Server he bought?

3. Can anyone recommend a guide so I don't spin my wheels on things that aren't necessary?

Thanks.
